Kodak Black has launched his own currency. His artist coin $YAK, made in partnership with music discovery platform Audius, will give fans the opportunity to hear some unreleased music, early access to shows, limited-edition merch, behind-the-scenes content and other special experiences.

“I made $YAK so my fans get first dibs on everything I do,” Kodak says in a statement posted on the Audius website. “Hold it and you hear music before it drops. You get tickets before the crowd even sees them. You unlock content that never hits the public feed. This coin is the line between the crowd and the ones I keep close. If you want to stay closer, you already know.”

“From Pompano to packed arenas, I learned the wins hit different when we share them,” he continues. “Music created our community. Now let’s create something even bigger together.”

News of Kodak’s artist coin arrives on the heels of Kodak Day, which took place Tuesday in his hometown of Pompano Beach, Florida. He celebrated with a community fun day for the kids complete with food, free groceries, games, gift cards and more.

Parker McCollum‘s unwrapping his take on a Christmas classic just in time for the 2025 holidays, and it’s one that dates back to the beginning of his career. 

“I covered the Bruce Springsteen version on Fox News in Austin, Texas, at 5:30 in the morning,” he recalls. “It was one of the first times I ever played with a full band. I borrowed [Texas musician] Brandon Rhyder’s band, and we played ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.’ It was the first time I was ever on live TV.”

Parker’s cover is available via Apple Music, and he’ll perform it Dec. 2 on the annual CMA Country Christmas special on ABC. 

Parker currently has a top-10 hit with “What Kinda Man.”

She’s also released the first track from the record, “Still Don’t Care,” which she’s been teasing on her socials.

As for the album, Meghan says, “Toy With Me feels like the most honest and fearless I’ve ever been — it’s all about self-confidence, freedom, and learning how to meet people where they are at. I wanted to kick off this new chapter with a song that makes people feel unstoppable.”

Megan will support the album with the Get In Girl Tour, launching June 12 in Clarkston, Mississippi, with Icona Pop as the opening act.

St. Vincent covers “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” for the soundtrack to the upcoming holiday film Oh. What. Fun.

“My favorite Christmas songs have an underlying sense of melancholy mixed in with the warmth of their familiarity,” the “Los Ageless” artist says. “Sung by a person who is presumably alone, ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ is a prime example: ‘Next year all our troubles will be out of sight’… the holiday season and its festivities are a temporary refuge, a reprieve after a s***** year. Hopefully the year to come will be better.”

The soundtrack will be released Dec. 3, the same day Oh. What. Fun. premieres on Prime Video. The track list also features contributions from Gwen Stefani, Fleet Foxes, Sharon Van Etten and Wilco‘s Jeff Tweedy.

Oh. What. Fun. stars Michelle Pfeiffer as a mother who reaches her breaking point after being left home alone by her family during a holiday outing.

“Fed up and feeling underappreciated, she sets off on an impromptu adventure of her own,” the film’s description reads.

The cast also features Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Denis Leary and Danielle Brooks.
